Title	Letter from Big Pine Reparations Association to George W. P. Hunt
Creator	Big Pine Reparations Association
Contributors	Black, J. D. (John David), 1893-1960
Date Created	1926-01-06
Date Range	1920-1929
Description	Letter with postage receipt from Big Pine Reparations Association to Governor George W. P. Hunt of Arizona regarding information on the water controversy given to the people of Arizona.
Note	To meet the need for water of its growing population, the City of Los Angeles began acquiring water rights in the Owens Valley in 1905. The Los Angeles Aqueduct was completed in 1913 to bring Owens Valley water to the city. During the 1920s, the City of Los Angeles began additional large-scale purchases of land in the Owens Valley to increase its supply of water from the valley, resulting in the city's almost complete control of the valley's agricultural land. This led to a decline in the valley's agricultural infrastructure and economy. After a reparations bill of California was passed in April 1925, the Big Pine Property Owners Association (BPPOA) formed the Big Pine Reparations Association (BPRA) on July 29, 1925 to establish reparations claims against the City of Los Angeles during the Owens Valley water controversy.
